“Ny daughter and I were craving Italian. We stumbled on this place. When you pull up, it doesn’t even look like a restaurant. It’s in an old Victorian house. Walking up we are very disappointed to read that it was reservations only. As we were walking away, the hostess opened the door and invited us in and made room for us to eat. It was one of the best meals and service we have ever had!“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Momma Rosa’s Italian Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality—the staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel like family (the kind you want to visit).

I started with the meatball appetizer, and honestly? I could write poetry about those meatballs. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and smothered in a rich, flavorful sauce that made me want to lick the plate (don’t worry—I didn’t, but I thought about it).

Then came the calzone… and let me just say, it was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly baked crust, generous fillings, and that beautiful balance of cheese, sauce, and sheer joy. I’m still thinking about it.

The restaurant itself was spotless—clean and cozy without trying too hard. You can tell the folks here care about what they’re doing.

If you’re even remotely nearby, do yourself a favor and eat here. I left full, happy, and slightly emotional. Momma Rosa, whoever you are—thank you.“

“This was my first ever experience eating from Big Tony's. It was during a very special occasion for an amazing fundraiser.
The pizzas, we ordered were good. I say only good due to the drive time it took to get home with them.
The flavor and taste were absolutely, there . I would highly, recommend eating in if possible.“

“Pasta is always a safe bet here...you can’t go wrong with a plate of noodles and red sauce. The calzones and pizza are solid choices too, definitely worth trying. The only downside is the location. Even though the restaurant is separate from the convenience store, being attached to a gas station still gives it a bit of an odd vibe.“
